Pictures from Wednesday's girls wrestling match against Baldwinsville! We continue to see tremendous strides from this group in the second year of the program, and we couldn't be more excited for what our state invitational qualifiers do on Friday.

That feeling when you get out of trouble early, and rally quickly to get the win. We can confirm the atmosphere in the gym, at this moment, was positively electric.
